Considerations about the concept of “terroir”: definition and research direction

Abstract

On exposera la distinction et la relation entre: “Etude des milieux”, “Zonage Petit ou Zonage Technique ou Sub Zonage”, “Grand Zonage”, “Délimitation des zones productives” ex. vitivinicoles, entre “Terroir”, “Territoire”, “Terra – Nature”, “Univers” d’après la “Grande Filiera” (“Grande Filière”), entre “Qualité organoleptique classique” (technique), “Qualité perçue par le Consommateur ou Préférence” et les autres “qualités” (environ 90) , entre “Pyramides de la Qualité classique”, “Pyramide du Consommateur”, Pyramide de la “Quantité – Préférence”, etc. 
Il est mis en évidence que les “zonages” (“Grands Zonages” selon le “Grande Filiera”) doivent descendre et s’harmoniser avec les objectifs (“Grands Objectifs”selon la “Grande Filiere”) de l’activité [maximum (meilleur) profit économique socio environnemental existentiel éthique meta éthique selon la “Grande Filiere”] et non pas avec les moyens utilisés pour atteindre ces objectifs (ex. “terroir”, “qualité organoleptique classique”, “paysage”, “tourisme”, les techniques de culture, etc., etc.). On souligne par ailleurs l’importance fondamentale qu’assume de plus en plus la “Qualité Economique”, la “Qualité Socio-Environnementale”, la “Qualité Existentielle”, la “Qualité Ethique” selon le “Grande Filiera”, l’ approfondissement de façon adéquate et la définition de manière universelle de la terminologie et, à la fin, le lien de la technique, de la recherche aux objectifs et non pas aux moyens.

Preliminary field studies of resistance of Georgian grapevine germplasm to powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator)

Erysiphe necator Schwein is a fungus that causes grapevine powdery mildew. It is one of the most problematic pathogens attacking Vitis vinifera L. The pathogen infects all green parts of the plant and reduces grape yield and quality. The suppression on mildew-susceptible cultivars requires intensive use of fungicides against pathogen, which has negative impact on the environment and human health.

Towards a European data basis based of advanced multi-isotopic signatures and artificial intelligence: the wine in blue project

Major and trace elements are essential for the development of grapes used for the wine. They are primarily originating from the soil. Some elements are also seldomly added during the wine making process. Therefore, the largest spectrum of major, trace and ultra-trace elements in the final wine product is a good signature of its geographical origin. In the frame of the European tracewindu, we have developed a very original multi-isotopic dilution method using triple quadrupole icp/ms.

Sensory characterisation and consumer perspectives of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon wine typicity

Aim: To identify the sensory attributes responsible for the typicity of Cabernet Sauvignon wines from three Australian Geographical Indications (GIs) and to explore consumer purchase behaviour and preference with regard to regional wines.
